Draining water from filter..

I have a 2000 F-250 diesel that seems to have developed this fuel leak from the fuel drain mast. Do you know any way to fix the problem???

I have recently experienced the same problem and have not found the source of the problem. It seams to be in the drain valve itself. I do know that it will only get worse.

i have found several of the water in fuel indicator lights were shorted out right on top of the cylinder head where the wire lays along the valve cover. Follow the wire along its route and you will find the spot where the wire shield will be broken, lift it off the block and the light should go out. Be careful while doing so, if I remember right, the wire has a short tail where it is chaffed.
